I remember when The first trailer for season 2 droppedMy first reaction in our /film conversation was: "I can't believe this show made me emotionally invested in Mont Motma, all the characters", and I think it's the highest possible compliment. That's my example of everything this show is doing so well. He takes these franchise pillars, all this iconography and one kind returns them back to the ground in the best possible way. Tony, is it the kind of reaction you are looking for in this upcoming season, both from ordinary viewers and fans of the "War of Starwells" too?

Tony Gilroy: Totally. If you were, that's exactly what you want. What do I want? I want a relationship, I want to break your heart, I want you to feel that you understand these people, I want to ask questions, "What would I do?" Yes, I want everything. I love it all. Yes, absolutely. The answer is yes (laughs).

EVENEVI, I can't even imagine what kind of jumps with this is this for you, going from "Episode III" to your big return to "Rogue One", and now you are a kind of title to this show with some of the greatest moments so far, I would say. Entering Season 2, what unexplored aspects of the image of Mont Motma still thought we should know more?

Eveniva O'Reili: Well, above all, I think I should say, he doesn't feel like a whirlwind. It feels like an increase in a mountain. But I think "Andor" helps me, as an actor, I really feel like we have reached the summit with this character. I feel so grateful for the story, the space, the development of the characters, the interest in this woman that Tony and the writing team allowed and wrote about - not just for me as an actor, but also for her as a character. I feel like at the end of this season, it's not just a pillar or a skeleton. We have muscles and sinuses and texture and blood and heart break, and I really understand this woman's rhythm in a way we haven't examined them before.

Tony Gilroy: Only marriage alone, only (parenting) of it all.

Eveniva O'Reili: Yes.

Tony Gilroy: If people left for the first season, then they are like, "Oh, this man (Perin) is this ..." But it's much more complicated, isn't that their relationship?
